Export an AppLocker Policy from a GPO

This topic describes the steps to export an AppLocker policy from a Group Policy Object (GPO) so that it can be modified in Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8.

Updating an AppLocker policy that is currently enforced in your production environment can have unintended results. Therefore, export the policy from the GPO and update the rule or rules by using AppLocker on your AppLocker reference or test computer.

To complete this procedure, you must have Edit Setting permission to edit a GPO. By default, members of the Domain Admins group, the Enterprise Admins group, and the Group Policy Creator Owners group have this permission.
